If Fish Bone Gets Stuck On Your Throat, Here Are 10 Ways To Remove It.

The truth some of us don't know is that having fish bone stuck in your esophagus or elsewhere in your digestive tract, can actually pose real danger to one's life.

This is because fish bone can cause a tear in your esophagus, or form an abscess, and on rare occasions, life-threatening complications. So, don't take it for granted.

While there are several ways to remove or dislodge fish bone from your throat, note that it is dangerous trying to use your cutlery like Spoon, Fork, Knife, etc.

Before you hastily go to see a Doctor, here are some home remedies you can apply to help you remove them;

1. Olive oil

Since Olive oil is a natural lubricant, swallowing 1 or 2 tablespoons of It can help coat the lining of your throat and the bone itself, thereby making it easier for you to swallow the fish bone down or cough it up.

2. Bread and peanut butter

Bread covered in peanut butter usually works by grabbing the fish bone and pushing it down into the stomach.

If you can take a large bite of bread and peanut butter, wait and allow it collect moisture in your mouth before swallowing it in one big gulp. Drink plenty of water when you are done. If there's no Peanut butter, bread and water should be fine.

3. Bananas

Swallowing a chunk of Banana whole can help rid your throat of any such fish bone.

4. Soda

Did you know that when soda enters your stomach, it releases gasses which can help disintegrate the bone and build up pressure that can dislodge it.

This is why for years, some health practitioners have been using cola and other carbonated beverages to treat those with food stuck in their throats.

5. Vinegar

The acidic nature of Vinegar may help break down the fish bone, making it softer and easier to swallow.

Try diluting 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a cup of water, or drinking 1 tablespoon straight. Especially with honey, Apple cider vinegar is a good option that doesn’t taste too bad, 

6. Rice

Eating rice can also help to dislodge fishbone stuck in the throat.

7. Boiled Potatoes

When swallowed, boiled Potato is another good choice that can help to dislodge fishbone stuck in the throat.

8. Cough

Oftentimes, fish bones get stuck right at the back of your throat, around your tonsils. So, if you cough forcefully a couple of times, it may be enough to dislodge it.

9. Water

Drink reasonable quantity of water to help unstuck the fishbone in your throat.

In addition, Leave It Alone:

You might be feeling the pain of the scratch of the fishbone, but still think it's there when it has entered your stomach.

Finally, when all else has failed, if you still feel symptoms like chest pain, swelling, an inability to eat or drink, bruising, excessive drooling, then you need to see a Doctor immediately.

If you can't do without eating fish, make sure you are careful whenever you do so.

Liver diseases and damage are caused by the different substances we consume mainly alcohol. Infections and genetics can also lead to liver damage. Liver failure refers to the inability of the liver to perform its normal functions eg bile production.

It can be a life threatening emergency and therefore it is necessary for one to take measures and avoid its causes by all means. It can either be acute or chronic. The difference between the two is that acute liver failure comes on quickly while chronic comes slowly.

 

Liver damage accumulates through different stages. Each stage is accompanied with effects to the normal functioning of the liver with its functioning gradually reducing as the stages advance.

The main substance you must avoid if you want to ensure that your liver continues to perform its vital functions is alcohol. Excessive alcohol consumption leads to liver cirrhosis which is the scarring of the liver.
